Too many red onions how can I use them up?

Why not make Weezl's onion tart?

It's a frugal'ised version of Delias thick onion tart

This recipe for caramelised red onion and goats cheese tart sounds yummy.

I always slice them and put them on HM pizza, or have them raw in a cheese sarnie. Red Onion Marmalade is when I have plenty but I never seem to have a glut of them they get used up too quickly in my house

There's no rush to use them up if have somewhere dark and cool to store them. I use them in anything which requires ordinary onions or shallots. I wish I'd come across a five-kilo bag in Asda, I bought a load of 750 gramme nets when they were on offer for 29p and have been using a lot of them in my soup-making recipes as I make at least three batches a week for my lunches

we put red onions in homemade salsa and have with fajitas. Any leftover salsa is had with salad/with bacon the following day! Scrummy!

You can store them in the garage or another coldish darkish place, for our home grown red onions. we keep them in old stockings/tights. feed one into the toe, tie a knot above it, feed another in- same again with the knot and repeat until full.

If you separate the onions with a knot, if one starts to rot, it wont affect the others next to it

HTH - we have stored onions since october, still fresh, just one went a little mouldy

Me too, I grow all my onions, red and white, and they keep really well in a cool place, lasting until April when I can start to use the Japanese onions which over winter.

Thanks for asking this OP and thanks for all the yummy suggestions. I have a bag of red onions that I got from Lidl for 30p and wasn't sure what to make with them other than use as i would normal onions. I'm contemplating making a tart of some sorts.
